Averetek has a great working atmosphere that promotes creativity; new ideas are welcomed. It is also located in Edmonds which happens to be my home, the view of the Puget sound and Olympic Mountains on the drive to work is incredible.

What was your first job?

Tech support for a small dial-up internet service, the owner decided to become an internet service provider rather than continue to sell cigarettes by the carton. I think this was a good decision considering how much he smoked.

What is your workplace superpower?

Being a chameleon, I find that I can generally get along with any different kind of personality.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A traveling food taster, I like food and I like traveling.

Believe it or not:

I once coached a three-day basketball clinic in the winter for the entire school (K through 12) on St. Paul Island (Pribilof Islands). Look it up, you’ve never been there and you’ll never go there.
